Posted by Theraguns are massage guns, but not all massage guns are Theraguns, even though the name has become synonymous with the category. Therabody, the brand behind the massagers, has evolved beyond muscles and now makes gadgets for soothing your eyes, cramps, and skin. We haven’t tried everything the brand makes, but we have tried a bunch, and these are our favorite tools.
Theraguns are expensive, but you can get a great massage gun for less. If you’re not married to the brand, see our Best Theragun Alternatives guide. If you decide to get a Theragun, there are accessories available. Most importantly, you can buy foam tips separately, so don’t think you have to buy the Theragun Pro to get the relief you need. Just be sure to check each one’s compatibility.
Updated February 2024: We now have a separate guide for non-Theragun massage devices. This guide is for all our favorite Therabody tools.
